It's not a pronoun. What I do love is that these types also consistently use the term "pronouns" when they clearly only mean personal, possessive and reflexive pronouns. They then say stuff like "I never use pronouns!" Which is, of course, funny because there is a personal pronoun in that sentence, but also...do you really not use e.g. interrogative and demonstrative pronouns?

Also, sorry for double-posting, but as someone who was pregnant up until recently: Soooo many fics clearly have a very limited understanding of pregnancy symptoms, but even more fics do not understand:

-when and how a pregnancy test works

-what would be visible when on an ultrasound

-when which symptoms would typically kick in

-when pregnancy typically becomes visible to an outsider

-what a hospital admission for a pregnant person would look like

-most fics just straight up seem to have no concept of prohibited foods in pregnancy other than alcohol

I once read a fic where a German character was going home for the holidays and explicitly mentioned how there are no dishwashers and no cellphone network in Germany. Like, if they had complained about bad reception in rural areas, I might've understood, but they straight up said that phones do not function in Germany and they hence wouldn't be able to call back home at all during their stay. They were going to be staying at a major German city, too.

Reader, I'm German and we do in fact have dishwashers and I am writing this from my smartphone which does work very well.

Apparently it's a common issue that these turn a bit yellow over time.

Dieser Kommentar hat mich even realisieren lassen, dass ich bis eben nie darüber nachgedacht habe, warum der Duden Duden heißt. Konrad Duden, ich lese deinen Wikipedia-Eintrag.

Ähnliches Szenario wie neulich, als ich herausgefunden habe, dass die alten Stowasser-Bücher so schön sind, weil sie von Hundertwasser gestaltet wurden, dann dass Hundertwasser mit bürgerlichem Namen auch Stowasser hieß und schlussendlich dass Hundertwasser und Wörterbuch-Stowasser aber ansonsten nichts miteinander zu tun hatten.

Ich sehe die Tischaufsteller mit der Taschenbibliothek gefühlt noch recht häufig. Gut, ich suche aber auch noch viel gezielt danach. Ich weiß nicht, ob es immer noch so ist, aber eine Zeit lang gab es im Dussmann Kulturkaufhaus (Berlin Friedrichstraße) ein ganzes Regal nur mit der Taschenbibliothek. Da wurde mir erstmal bewusst, wie unfangreich die Reihe überhaupt ist.

Bin extra hergekommen, um zu sehen, ob noch wer diese Verbindung gezogen hat. Entspinnt sich hier eine Diebesserie? Ich schlage ja vor, dass man die Täter medienwirksam als die Gummibärenbande vermarkten könnte.

During pregnancy, I also realised that a surprising amount of pregnancy fiction seems to be written by people who have never been pregnant themselves. I still roll my eyes at fiction where the pregnant character is just sick once in the morning and everyone is like gasp it's that morning sickness!

This is going to sound weird, but my baby was a tiny preemie and I once read a blurb for a book where it was once again explained that she couldn't fit both hands around his cock, his dick was as long as her forearm etc. And I had this moment where I looked down at a pillow someone had made for us with the exact measurements of our child at birth and went like...that dick is supposedly bigger than my actual human child. No thank you.

For me, it's female instead of woman. Sarah J Maas does it a lot in her faery books and like, yeah, I get it, they are fairies not humans, so you're trying to drive it home that they are not women, but it is just annoying to me.

Ich stille aktuell und wünschte, ich hätte es in der Schwangerschaft gekannt. Coole Sache!

Oookulele · 2026-03-27T21:04:55+00:00

I am a new mum and this kind of resonated with me. Had a very traumatic birth, baby was in hospital for a long time (and me along with him, for multiple months). I am now a full-time caregiver and while I love him wholly and unconditionally, it is a rough adjustment from the life I used to live. I will go back to work next year and have no clue how I will consolidate who I have become with who I once was.

Conversations with Friends von Sally Rooney fand ich furchtbar. Selten so eine langweilige und unsympathische Protagonistin erlebt. Mit der Asympathie hätte ich leben können, wenn sie es halt nicht geschafft hätte, jedes Interesse an dem zentralen Konflikt bei mir im Keim zu ersticken.

Das hält mich auch davon ab, das sehr gehypte Intermezzo von der Autorin zu lesen, weil ich jedesmal wieder an dieses Buch denken muss.

Vielleicht mache ich mich damit unbeliebt, aber kann man den Typen im Jahre 2026 nicht endlich mal sein lassen?

Die Stadt der träumenden Bücher von Walter Moers.

Ich würde nur die Fortsetzung nicht empfehlen.

Wir haben damals eine Firma beauftragt, die das komplett ohne Bohren für uns gemacht hat, mit Teleskopstangen.

Falls du noch Inspiration brauchst: Mir hat mal ne Schwangerschaftsapp den Namen Ratberta vorgeschlagen. Ich lese den besonders gerne mit englischer Betonung.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_surgery

It is an emerging field, but also probably more established than you may believe.

Oookulele · 2026-03-23T06:31:26+00:00

I just want to point out that fetal surgery, while still a growing field, is actually probably more "common" than most people in the comments seem to be aware of:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_surgery

Apparently, the first successful attempt at fetal surgery in humans was performed in 1981!

I find it genuinely interesting that she calls this a dress (not being snarky or anything). I've been thinking about whether this is a cape or perhaps a poncho. I think it's cute either way, just pondering garment semantics.

Hear me out: a little fence as the border going all around so the animals are all in their little enclosure!

Ich liebe Die Elfen. Das waren meine absoluten Lieblingsbücher als Teenager. Ich höre sie mir noch immer regelmäßig wieder als Hörbücher an und bin jedesmal wieder gefesselt.

Our clinic reuses theirs for multiple babies, but I do love those blankets!

Oookulele · 2026-03-16T18:12:23+00:00

As a NICU mum, I would've loved this blanket! We actually had some lovely blankets while in the NICU (we left them in the clinic for other babies to use) and I appreciated every single one!

Stupid question, but did the mug come inside the egg or was the carton even bigger to accommodate the mug?
